The group says it’s impossible to know exactly how many trees were lost, but the restoration program that will be executed in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, with assistance from state and local governments, corporate sponsors, community groups and individual volunteers, will be the most ambitious undertaking of its more than 50-year existence.
The “10m” is meant to be 10 million. (Not 10 meters, which confused me, because why specificly plant 10m tall trees, lol)
Must not be American then, meters basically don’t exist here.
“They’re crepe myrtles, live oak and magnolia trees” Let’s hope the planting includes these different trees. I just watched something that was talking about a lot of time. These initiatives are very monoculture. Usually cash crop wood.
Those 3 are great choices.
Crepe myrtle grows fast and provides loads of flowers. The bumblebee noise in my front yard was something to hear. First time I noticed, I freaked out thinking something high voltage was shorting. Gathered a 5g bucket of seeds and spread them at our camp.
Live oaks are a trip. The density vs. other oaks is something you have to experience to get it. There’s a reason Old Ironsides got the nickname. Cannonballs would bounce off.
Magnolia grows fast, but it’s super soft. Not sure how they contribute to the environment, but they’re quite common in the South. They certainly drop a ton of leaf litter.
Planted in America by Illegals
You going to go out there for minimum wage to do the work?
Im not American, thanks for the offer, maybe ask an American? And cut the CEO’S wage to pay for a decent wage for everyone. Maybe not bring in illegals to do dangerous, shitty work for little to no money instead.
Remember Nike moved all production out of the US because the CEO claimed Americans didnt want those jobs yet Micheal Moore was able to find hundreds that stated otherwise? It is a bullshit arguement and you know it
